The Beauty of Alaska

Alaska is GORGEOUS! There is a reason why its nickname is "The Last Frontier."

You can view mountains from just about anywhere in Alaska. They are always snow-capped, even in the summer. As a little girl, I always found comfort in the fact that the mountains are always surrounding me.

The air is so clean and fresh. There is no strange odor from industrialization. Alaskan air is far superior to any other air I have breathed.

The land is almost untouched. Even in Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, there are fields and trees and flowers. The landscape of rural areas is as it was hundreds of years ago. And we're talking hundreds of thousands of miles of untouched land.

There are many different types of landscapes in Alaska. On the panhandle and southwest Alaska, there are many islands. This coastal area has beautiful views into the Ocean. Southcentral Alaska is the most urban area in Alaska, yet it has many surrounding mountains and still has much of its original landscaping. The Interior is an area which is mostly made up of tundra among the mountainous regions. Out in the "bush," the northern rural areas where there are many Alaskan Native villages, these areas are mostly tundra as well.

Alaska is INDESCRIBABLE.

In order to understand its true beauty, one should visit Alaska! The only way to appreciate Alaska is to see it....
